Small key ideal for car radios.
The read/write speeds are perfect.
Mr Sandisk should provide a cap for his keys to prevent dirt from getting in.
Slight negative point: I find it gets very hot after long minutes of writing.
Compatible with my Medianav (which is not the case with all USB sticks)
As it is "ultra fit" nothing sticks out and therefore nothing snags ;-)
Perfect physical format to remain permanently in the USB port, the key protrudes very little.
Satisfactory speed to make it a boot drive
64GB volume sufficient to install a live boot persistent Ubuntu and to store data on it (made with mkusb with default settings).
The notch in the key allows you to grab it and hang a small coloured ribbon to differentiate it when like me you have several.
Be careful, this key is made of plastic, you will not be able to put it on your key ring without it being broken after a week.
Quick access to data, it's like being on a HDD. Very small (too small?), you have to be careful not to lose it.
Apart from that, it does the job.
Point + :
Technical data (speed, capacity)
Dimensions (can be left on the PC)
Point - : No cap or cable provided
Regarding read rates:
650109982 bytes (650 MB, 620 MiB) copied, 9.9864 s, 65.1 MB/s
Regarding write rates:
1258291200 bytes (1.3 GB, 1.2 GiB) copied, 29.4497 s, 42.7 MB/s
So for me the write rate is as advertised.
There is no cap or LED on this drive to indicate that writing is in progress, which is not a problem for me, but I might as well mention it.
Very small, but very fast. Just what I wanted!
Like all SanDisk drives it should be reliable.
Product corresponds to its description. Small, light, discreet. Nice design. Seems reliable. Remains to be seen in the long term.
